Definitely Maybe

Is romanticism still very much alive and kicking?

Definitely, maybe.

















Sometimes, it is so difficult to fall in love ...... Not to even mention, falling in love with the right person... It almost seemed impossible....

I have often wondered, once a time ago, why people can be so jaded and bitter when it comes to love and relationship?

Doesnt anyone believe in that anymore??

But then again, can i really blame these people?

After all, in the show, Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds), after two failed proposals, one very bad break-up and a marriage, he hasnt found real love still........

Ironically, love, only came to him, over a divorce.... after much heart breaks and so much missed opportunities....

It is no wonder people can get so jaded with love....

But again, who knows, the right one could just be standing in front of you.... after many bruises and battle scars..... just before you want to throw it all over and say that love does not matter to you anymore....

I was glad i made it to the show..... It had filled my heart with hope ... once again.... after so much fruitless attempts at romance had left me almost as jaded as the people i had felt sad for....

I truly believe Love will eventually come..... if not today, tomorrow or the day after......

Meanwhile, the princess truly hope that Sex & the City; Movie will be as inspirational and moving as Definitely, Maybe.....

Diary of a Male Model

Today I lost one of my closest friends. His name’s Edna.

I have known Edna for the longest time, close to 17 years, since we were in secondary school.

As all male model always say, I remember being a small sized, puny kid in my early teens- quite, shy and so ever studious. (Its all true!!)

Edna then, on the other hand, was part of the in-crowd, popular with both the boys and girls. (And i wonder why? Hmmmmmm.....) Maybe, he was active in various activities like dancing and debating…

I remember wanting to be popular like him.

Unlike some of the other classmates, Edna was kind enough to extend his friendship to me and although we weren’t the closest of friends back then, I appreciated his gesture. He was not only popular but kind.... One in a million... And i always remembered him...

A few years later, in my late teens I met Edna again in the army. Things were different now..... I had changed since then..

More confident now and taller than most in the crowd, I was already on my way to be Singapore Next Top Model (for male model, of course)!!!!

Anyway, back to the story:
I was surprised and delighted to see Edna again. Back then, I was still quite staunch in my Christian faith.

During those tough difficult days in the army, both physically and emotionally, Me and Edna would pray together and share meals while we were out in the field. Our bonds of friendship grew stronger and we would talk about everything under the sun/moon.

Those were some of the happiest times for me.

Some episodes and people in your life you will never forget, and this was one of those for me. I remember being disciplined by my Platoon Commander, early in my army years, by being made to do push ups in front of the entire platoon…
Although those punishments were really nothing much for me.. the hunky new Top model-to-be……(cause I must have done push ups a thousands more times than the punishments), Edna stood up for me and promptly scolded the Platoon Commander back…

However, We lost contact after that… for a few years…… until……..

The Singing Sirens

Before the princess became the princess, she was already famous for her role as one of the "Singing Sirens" in the camp of men.......

Sweet, breathy voice... (something like Britney) with a touch of innocence had always been a trademark of hers..... At the very peak of her popularity, she was billed "Faye Wong" of the battalion; An angelic voice in the sea of hoarse, coarse noise.....

And every star would have a Backer.....in those days...... The Plastic Princess had led a very privileged life under the protective wing of her man.... (Pretty much like the geishas in the past...., Each with our strict code of conduct!)

I can still remember the times when the Princess and her fellow virgin maidens gather in the still of the night waiting for the last call of her man before she gets sent off to bed..... Training hard and practising their skills....

One last song for the boys..... they always say.....

THose were the days.....

Though now we have each gone our own seperate ways... the Singing Sirens will never forget.... the songs that they sung... the men that they had.... & the bonds that they made......

Chocolat - whats ur flava, sista?

Do you like your chocolat, white..? milk?.... or simply dark??? THe one-half sista of Avalon asked the princess out of the blue one day over a lavish dinner....

ANd the princess was dumbfounded for a while.....

These days, the princess find herself leaning alittle bit towards the dark side when it comes to chocolat...... without herself consciously knowing it....

Could it be age catching up and exposing you to the finer things in life, i asked myself?? or just the urge to try something else other than the usual suspects..... But whatever, it is really no big deal whether its white, milk or dark chocolat for the princess....

It has come a point in time when the princess is just simply grateful to have a little piece of chocolate in her mouth..... Yum Yum......

Anyway, nowadays, with the wide variety of assortments of different flavours and fillings going around, it is never as simple as it seems. Just like what Forrest Gump once famously said.... "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get...."

And Its true.....

Because just as the Princess and the Avalon Sista was deep into our profound conversation on chocolat, the princess' sharp bright eyes had spied the high priestess of architectural style eyeing on some milky brown chocolat on the shelves; not paying attention to us at all!!!

Horrors of horrors...!!!! The traditional high priestess of architectural style actually had a secret desire for milk chocolate; going against her traditionistical view that a fair lady should always have her chocolate, well.... hmmmm.... fair as well?

Realising her boo-boo, the high priestess quickly join in the conversation ..... " I like chocolat of every kind....!"

Hmmmm....... For Better or worse, liking chocolat of every kind??

And then Avalon Sista quickly interrupted: "As long as chocolat is just freshly out from hot factory, it is will be just right for moi!"

Well, for the down-to-earth and mass appeal Plastic Princess, she just love her chocolat with lotsa lotsa of nuts no matter whats the flava.....

Signing off,
Yours deliciously,
Princess P

Why Should I Be Sad?

Heaven knows….

It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (OK)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (All right)
It's time for me (Princess, let's go)

Britney Spears Why Should I Be Sad lyrics

I like this song..... ,in fact, the whole album. But, especially this, this song is just so sorry for Britney....

As if a form of rationalisation on her downfall, her wrong choice of men and everything else...... and how that it has reached rock bottom.

Yet, still, it is a little defiant on how it is not her fault on the way things had turned out and why should she bear the brunt of it all....

And i like that.....

I mean, seriously, why should anyone be sad when
A) its our actions that had resulted most of our predicaments
B) the situation is really not within our control...

So, i still still love Britney for being flawed, vulnerable and yet so wise and shrewd at the same time.......

The next time when the princess is on the verge of falling into dispair on not finding that perfect man and screwing that "all so important project"......

I will tell myself....

"Why should i be sad?"
